Introducing Shockwave Therapy

We are proud to introduce Shockwave Therapy as a non-surgical treatment option for our patients suffering from acute, subacute and chronic pain in deep layers of soft tissue, like muscles, bones and tendons. This reparative solution helps restart the healing process in old injuries, resolve chronic inflammation, break up scar tissue, increase mobility and ease pain without the need for painkillers.

What is ESWT Therapy?

Also referred to as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive procedure that sends acoustic waves deep into soft tissues. It is considered one of the most advanced and highly effective treatment options with an up to 90% success rate in many cases.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

EWST/Shockwave Therapy accelerates or activates self-healing through micro-trauma. By sending intense, short-energy waves traveling faster than the speed of sound to affected areas, this technology can help restart the healing process, especially with incorrectly, slow or non-healing injuries.

Shockwave treatment has multiple beneficial effects on the body:

  • Improves nutrient and blood flow to injured areas
  • Releases trigger points and muscle tension
  • Breaks up calcium deposits and scar tissue, allowing for tissue repair
  • Increases mobility and range of motion
  • Alleviates inflammation
  • Induces analgesic (pain relief) response that blocks pain sensation

The Science Behind Shockwave Therapy

The high-energy sound waves interact with tissues, breaking up scar tissue and calcifications. This stimulation enhances blood flow, encouraging the body to regenerate damaged areas, including the tissues around herniated discs.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

Shockwave therapy is an innovative and non-invasive treatment that can be an excellent choice for many individuals suffering from herniated discs, but it’s essential to determine if it aligns with your specific needs and medical history. This therapy is particularly beneficial for those who prefer a natural approach to healing without relying on surgery or medications.

If you’re experiencing chronic pain, reduced mobility, or persistent nerve symptoms caused by a herniated disc, shockwave therapy may offer the relief you’ve been searching for. It’s especially suitable for individuals who have not responded well to traditional treatments like physical therapy, medications or injections. However, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to evaluate your condition and rule out any contraindications.

Certain factors, such as pregnancy, blood clotting disorders or the presence of pacemakers, may require alternative treatment options. By undergoing a thorough consultation, you can ensure that shockwave therapy is a safe and effective solution tailored to your unique situation. With its ability to target the root causes of discomfort and stimulate long-term healing, this treatment could be the next step toward reclaiming your quality of life.

FAQ

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive option, unlike spinal surgery. It promotes natural healing without the risks or downtime associated with surgical interventions. 

Many patients notice improvement after 1–2 sessions, but optimal results usually appear after completing the full treatment course. 

While generally safe, individuals with certain medical conditions or implants should consult their healthcare provider before beginning treatment.

Side effects are minimal and temporary, often limited to slight redness or discomfort at the treatment site. 

Yes, combining shockwave therapy with other modalities like physical therapy can enhance overall outcomes.
